This book was written to introduce you to the features and capabilities that ASP.NET 4 offers, as well as to give you an explanation of the foundation that ASP.NET provides. We assume you have a general understanding of Web technologies, such as previous versions of ASP.NET, Active Server Pages 2.0/3.0, or JavaServer Pages. If you understand the basics of Web programming, you should not have much trouble following along with this book's content.

If you are brand new to ASP.NET, be sure to check out Beginning ASP.NET 4: In C# and VB by Imar Spaanjaars (Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2010) to help you understand the basics.

In addition to working with Web technologies, we also assume that you understand basic programming constructs, such as variables, For Each loops, and object-oriented programming.

You may also be wondering whether this book is for the Visual Basic developer or the C# developer. We are happy to say that it is for both! When the code differs substantially, this book provides examples in both VB and C#.

This book explores the 4 release of ASP.NET. It covers each major new feature included in ASP.NET 4 in detail.

This book should be titled ASP.NET 4 in VB (and loosely translated to C#). It looks like this book was written originally for VB programmers, then edited to include C#. Virtually ALL of the examples are in VB, then usually (not always) followed by a partial C# translation. This starts as just annoying, but becomes a problem when the more complex examples are reviewed and explained a piece at a time - this is almost always done in VB, which really slows down the learning curve unless you're fluent in both languages.

If you're a VB programmer, this is probably a great book. But if you're trying to learn ASP.NET in C#, find a different book.

What I really like about this tome (1500 pages) is the time the authors take in explaining the stuff. I was trying to find about role manager and this book is one of the few which went into depth. There are other great authors (Murach comes to mind), but these guys go overboard in explaining.

I think this book makes a good explanation what does the .Net framework do and how it works.Subjects fill the large area of .net properties, but still I think there is only a scrath on a surface on the .net completely.I think this book is just the right book for you who are finding ways to implement your web app, there is all you need. Maybe after reading this book, go for another then if needed.

It's kind of bulky for a book like this. i prefer something more simplify. Need more examples than just plain theory.It is like reading a bible with chapters in there. Way to bulky to carry and too much info on theory not enough in examples.

This is a great book. I have learned many new techniques from it and I have only owned it for a month. I was able to put it to use immediately. The vendor was very timely and the book arrived early and it the expected condition.
